I've loved that for a long time. I never would have thought that this scheme works so well, but it does.

During its first configuration as a town runabout. Those condorino bars look way better than they feel, alas...

I wanted fairly upright and compact for threading traffic -- it was more the sweep angle & hardness of the original (bone? bakelite?) grips that i couldn't get comfy with, so the bars are gathering dust these days. They have really cool "legnano" logo script, cast in relief on the inner surface of the lever arms...

I thought my color choice for this rather unusual PX10 was based on the light blues and greens that were used by some of the French builders in the first half of the 20th century... but it may be that I was just remembering that beautiful Gran Sport belonging to @due ruote

Brent, let’s just say great minds think alike - I had the same thoughts about color choices, and focused on green after seeing an especially nice stand of spring meadow grass along the roadside. Which just proves that our bikes belong in this thread.

Sneaking in under the wire. I have a Green bike! The blur is intentional, for artistic effect. 
Reference assist, since I'm not sure anyone else noticed. Maybe that wasn't an intended reference? There it is nonetheless. I'm not really a big Pink Floyd fan, but I do like the really early stuff.

Here's the Martelly built Ribble as it sits right now. I've got the Dura Ace 7400 Brifters, Brakes, and FD for it. Now just looking for a decent affordable crank. Then I'll be converted to all Dura Ace 7400.
